Maybe a little bit related: do you know about my (unfortunately
out-of-date) branch to add dtrace providers to the linuxulator?
http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/user/netchild/linuxulator-dtrace/

If you are interested feel free to borrow things from there.

My first thought was that this is a good idea.

My second thought was the question if you can make the provided values
there compatible enough that a dtrace script is able to cope with it
when someone does not uses a specific module but the wirldcard
operator. If not I suggest to think again about it.
